He doesn't listen to his teachers in class and he never finishes his homework on time. He always plays football when he has any free time. He can never pass the exams.

Mr. King is so busy with his business that he has little time to stay at home. He never pays any attention(关心)to his son's studies, so he doesn't know how he is doing.
